World energy investment outlook sees need for usus 16,000 billion of energy investment through 2030

摘要

"If present trends continue,the world will need to invest USUS 16 trillion over the next three decades to maintain and expand energy supply," Claude Mandil,Executive Director of the Paris-based International Energy Agency,said recently.This number,much larger in real terms than the comparable figure for the past thirty years,is equivalent to 1 per cent of annual global GDP over the period."Without new policy actions,world energy demand will rise by two-thirds between now and 2030,and the world economy will falter if these energy supplies are not made available."
